As we enter day three of the meltdown brought on by a single tweet left by Glenn Greenwald, I’ll take the opportunity to opine that the meltdown’s intensity is due not to the fact that the tweet leads to a “faked graphic”, but rather the more general consequence of exposing Greenwald’s hundreds of thousands of twitter followers to our website. After all, there’s a lot of dirt we’ve gathered over the years (some of the real juicy stuff conveniently linked under “greatest hits” right in our sidebar —>); quite a cache of ammo for bloggers and twitterwarriors alike. Given the almost non-stop barrage of attacks Johnson launches against Greenwald these days, the exposure could be considered a tactical disaster.

The best part is that Greenwald didn’t mention LGF or Johnson specifically in the aforementioned tweet, really only linking to our site with a reference to the graph about the citations in the Breivik manifesto. Therefore, I have to think that Johnson’s accusations of libel and being smeared -to the point of demanding an apology and retraction– are desperate to the point of being laughable (even if the graph wasn’t accurate or based on facts, which isn’t the case).

In short, well played Glenn Greenwald. Well, played.

So since we may have a few visitors lurking about, and because we’re on the subject of the Breivik manifesto, I thought I might do a little more digging and see what I can find…

First, we have this tweet from Johnson that I think deserves a fact check:

She knows she's lying by this point. Breivik did not "cite" LGF even once. All the links to LGF were in blog posts he reprinted.

Incorrect. There are sections of the manifesto under the headings “Demography” and “Statistics” that appears to be Breivik’s own writing and research. If you turn to page 584, you will see this:

The highlighted link takes you to LGF article 23696:

(“RoP”, for our visitors, was shorthand for Johnson’s commonly-used and sarcastically-implied reference to Islam as the “Religion of Peace”)

Interesting that Breivik cited LGF, rather than the source link at Daily Mail, as if he wanted to give Johnson credit for the find, or in the very least acknowledging that he saw it there first. Very interesting.

So now that we’ve got that straight, our research of the manifesto concludes that the rest of the (many) LGF urls cited in the manifesto are contained within the reprinted works of the writer who went under the pseudonym “Fjordman” (although it appears that Breivik himself at least went through the process of listing the urls manually for citation, gleaned from the hyperlinks contained within the online versions). For some perspective and context, here’s a slideshow for the screenshots of all those LGF links that were cited in those sections (excluding LGF’s front page url):

And speaking of Fjordman, there really are quite a few of his pieces in that manifesto. One that caught my eye can be found on page 528:

Awesome work, Chen. Our guests/lurkers should also know that Charles mockingly posted about “splodydopes” and “car swarms” and “Chairman Arafish” and “religion of pieces” and….
All because he was duped. Then the alleged bike accident on his way home from the Donkey Show.

This is the guy Jazzy McGreasytail calls the craziest of the stalkers. To his Twitter buddies who apparently decided to stalk US.

Chen – you should do a You Tube on this like the ones exposing his phony page view, comment and Twitter retweet counters. BTW did he ever fix them or are they still registering multiple “page hits” for a refresh bar?

I guess after Breivik and hosting Geller, Johnson decided that his new position is:
“You can’t HANDLE the truth”
and “Please, NSA, spy on everyone so that we can catch those terrorists who we should never talk about or admit exist”
I think “car swarms” were totally deserved, and splodydopes, and let’s face it, princess pancake may well have been allowed to die by her terrorist friends since they are awfully enthusiastic about using the deaths (and fake deaths) of innocents for propaganda. And she sure cut a fine figure trying to teach bemused toddlers how to burn American flags…

Then why does Chunk even do business with Amazon? He holds others feet to the fire when they do business with those he deems unsavory. Firefox hired an executive against gay marriage, so they deserve a boycott. Why shouldn’t we boycott LGF for doing business with Amazon which sells the Turner Diaries? Why doesn’t Chunk speak out against Obungle, Shillary and Joe “What State Am I In” Bidin for taking all that money from the evil right wing murderous Koch brothers??

Heartbleed wasn’t “done”. It was an act of lazy programming, reviewed and approved by peer programmers. It has nothing to do with malware, and nothing to do with memory leaks. It was a fookup in the way the ping protocol was done that allowed somebody to send a string of length ‘x’, and request a reply string of length ‘y’.

It was just plain old fashioned stupid/lazy. You don’t need a conspiracy to do that, it just happens by itself. Like shit.

It’s called block, dumbass. You’re just pissed because you don’t get to ban Twitter users because you don’t like what they’re saying. I block users all the time. I;m sure they block me. I don’t care. If you don’t like the way Twitter is run, cancel your account and run back to your littie fiefdom where you can ban people who disagree with you and control the narrative.

Well, this has been quite a week. Russians looking to exploit a weak America, bullying their backwards neighbors. Gaia dumping snow in April. Greenwald acknowledging the semi-existence of Fatass McDumbth, leading to the high-larious “Daze Of Rage.” The NHL playoffs begin, which means several of us will either be very up or somewhat down, depending on the outcome of the last game. Our pet project Gus still can’t find a job, or the whereabouts of his favorite Fruit Of The Looms, just getting broken-in after 20,000 cycles. Heartbleed everywhere.

There’s only one solution, besides our good friend Ethanol. “Ol’ Ethan” has some side-effects, as Gus would attest, if we could wake him before noon. Not ideal for steady, regular relief of nervous symptoms. Which is why we use yoga on Saturday mornings, to clear our heads and relieve our stiffness. Don’t be alarmed if you feel increased stiffness at the beginning of the exercise. It will pass, as all things must pass. My sweet Lord, it will feel awesome as it passes. 🙂

There are people in Detroit who are opposed to the idea of ice girls, on grounds of sexism, whatever that is. Damn shame. It’s so hard for pretty girls to find work, and another avenue of employment is shut down by haters. 😡

BTW. has Greenwald even acknowledged the Fatass tantrum? Or has he simply been a grownup and ignored the whole thing?

I was thinking last night that it’s interesting that of the over 8,000 followers Fatass has on Twitter, it was only a handful that did the “I’m so sorry Charles” tweets to him about this ebil stalker site. And Daedalus said we were getting a hell of a lot of hits from people. I guess they agree with us.

He has no shame, it would seem. He slanders others with this gimmick, then screams when it is applied to himself and now he returns to his own vomit. In the above linked thread. He clearly attributes the actions of Breivik to Spenser and Geller while denying his own influence. He influenced Breivik. If Spenser and Gellar are liable due to their rhetoric, charles must take his share. His backing off from the cries for violence, that he helped engender, may be a mitigation, but that in no way gives him the right to point at others.

I am pasting from his site to create a record of this as he is prone to changing his own history. I am not going to look at the comments because the last time i looked, I did not want to look again.

“People like Fjordman and Pamela Geller and the right wing blogosphere who spew apocalyptic rhetoric and refuse to denounce the extremists among them now have the very real blood of children on their hands.”

Earlier he referenced another atrocity once again failing to apologize for his previous slander of Jared Loughner as a right wing ideologue. That in itself is the sort of rhetoric which engenders violence. He painted Loughner as right-wing. Calls for violence against the right are not unknown at his site (by his commenters, mostly). If someone strikes out at Geller or Spenser, he will have blood on his hands. Perhaps it would be best to stop the vilification and demonizing of others.

Well said. He was SO proud of himself to have teamed up with Spencer, Geller and Breivik at the time…. thumping his chest at every opportunity.

Now in hindsight…. after the environment he contributed to, and promoted, spawned an evil deed…. he would have everyone think that he had been in extreme opposition to the entire affair.

If that isn’t the sleaziest, cheapest way to live your life – then I don’t know what is.

If he showed even a shred of contrition – owning up to some of this, that would be one thing. But, instead… he makes lame excuses then immediately starts pointing fingers to deflect away from himself…. just like any nine year old girl would do.

One of my moonbatty relatives posted this clip on Facebook this am — yes, it’s very BDS and dumb, but I still laughed. You can laugh at the BDS-babies, and at the satire, which is pretty well done imho.

Note: you never hear boo from the Left about the current Preezy’s non-stop drone-war, or the battle-casualties still piling up in Afghanistan. No marches, no bloody caricatures of Obama, no Code Pink pannus slopping down the street…why is that, again?

A screen shot might be in order.

cough cough Floyd Lee Corkins cough cough

Charles has extremist blood on his hands, left and right. For this he is unique. Breivik and Corkins.

Fact: Breivik did not copy/paste a single LGF post into his ‘manifesto’ – but he did include vicious attacks against me by RW bloggers.

Al Capone never bought me a coke, but he did tell me I had some ink on my tie-
Jim Shootsalot, former hitman

Ben never wrote me a single letter, but he did tell me I had bad breath-
Arlene Hotsytotsy, Benedict Arnold’s mistress

FACT: Breivik mentioned you because you were part of the group he followed. You distanced yourself from that crowd, but only after a time. For a period you reveled in it. That you grew and changed is one thing, but to point out others as the blame is disingenuous.
